Hi All,
I've installed transmission onto a WD live book via ssh. It's all installed great, I can access it from my laptop via the web interface. So I choose from preferences on the interface to download torrents to my /public/Downloads directory. The only folder on livebook ( I can view ) is public with a whole lot of subfolders shared photos downloads etc. However when a torrent tries to download it reports an error "Error Permission denied (/public/Downloads.....

Can anyone advise how I can access a folder on the wd livebook drive?

Thanks in advance.

check out the permissions
try something like
see what user transmission runs as, make sure that user or their group have permissions for the /public/Downloads directory

Hi,
Thanks for the help. I worked out ( thanks too trying what you recommended ) that even thought I was changing the directory path in the transmission web interface, it wasn't changing internally. Becuase the software didn't stop running, I had to ssh onto the server and tell it to stop and start manually.
eg

/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
then
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start
